WELCOME TO RS BENELUX

We are the distributor for industrial customers and suppliers who design, build and maintain industrial plants and equipment. We operate in 32 countries, including the Netherlands and Belgium, and process more than 20,000 orders for various customers every day. Our aim is to be the first choice for our customers and distributors. We do this online, but with the human touch. So customers can always speak to someone in person, via phone, mail or chat.

LIFE AT RS

RS Group is headquartered in London, but we have a local office in Haarlem. We work hybrid, meaning we work in the office some days a week and everyone has the option of working from home the rest of the days, to achieve the best possible work/life balance. RS Benelux currently employs more than 70 people across Belgium and the Netherlands, from Customer Service and Sales to Marketing and Technical Support.

We highly value cooperation, communication and openness. Everyone is allowed and able to be themselves and is encouraged to do their best: 'Bring your true self to work' is our motto! RS strives to be an inclusive organisation. For example, women make up more than half of the senior leadership team and we have many cultural backgrounds among our employees.

  • We visited the Port of Rotterdam, the largest port in Europe to learn more about the transport sector. It was an instructive day with presentations about not only the maritime world, but the entire transport sector from aviation to ground transport. For example, Schneider Electric came by to tell us more about their offer for the logistics sector, including a live quiz. The day ended with an informative cruise through the harbour.
